Tall photograph of a large black stone Shivling standing on a square platform in shallow water, with a striped red-and-cream base and a garland of yellow and multicoloured flowers arching over the lingam. Water flows down its surface. Its reflection fills the still pool. In the foreground a small dark stone nandi or deity murti sits with yellow flowers on its head. Behind, on red steps and a metal railing, several monks in saffron and orange robes stand near tiered ranks of seated devotees and a red multi-storey building. This appears to be an abhishekam at a lingam in a pond.
